The African Hotspot - Best time to visit Tunisia

Want to enjoy some African flavor then Tunisia is the place to be. Trips are cheap and you get to enjoy exotic locales with Mediterranean-like climate. Located right at the northern most tip of Africa, the place is surrounded by lovely white sand beaches in the north and the east, with an absolute favorable beach type climate; except it’s a bit hotter than most other beaches you might have enjoyed earlier.

Best time to visit:

Going to Tunisia depends completely on the amount you are ready to splurge on the trip. Trip rates vary from time to time, depending on the climate factor. The best month is July; it enjoys a temperature of around- 37°C during daytime & 24°C at night. The coldest is February, chilly cold nights with temperature around 6°C with a possibility of going much down. But the day time is somewhat of a relief as it experiences an optimal temperature of 14°C. On the whole it is temperate in north with mild, rainy winters and hot, dry summers desert in south. With such a varied mix of climate your landing here can be never wrong.

It’s never a bad time to visit Tunisia. But there are certain exceptions that can make your trip enjoyable. The highest influx of tourist is in the month of October, prices loom pretty high as this is the time sales pick up in spite the high rates. People are ready to pay and have their share of fun. Resorts and hotels are especially costly and reservations can be tough. Even the retailers become smart and demand high rates for the products they sell. They can pretty well distinguish tourists and easily make out the ones really willing to pay. Nevertheless you will quite enjoy your stay if you are ready to bear the extra cost, as weather is blissfully favorable. For those very strict with budget will have to brave the heat onslaught in the summer as its comparatively pretty cheap. Just pack some enough sunblock and carry sun preventive items and you are ready for the journey. Sometimes the place enjoys slight showers of rain, and the weather turns pleasant all of a sudden. Hope you witness one during your stay.

It’s better to be around the coastal regions if you land there in the summer months. Along the coast, the average summer temperature is around 33 degree Celsius; in January, the temperature can be as low as 7 degrees Celsius. Comparatively it’s way better than the southern regions. Being close to the dessert can scorch you or similarly freeze you out during the nights as the night is equally chilly. Those visiting in the months of autumn or spring can enjoy the sand dunes and camel rides. And if nothing suits then head for fun at beach.
